Sorry I didn't respond to this before. Good to see you on Hive.
Money is likely to retain value due to wide usage. NFTs are still a tiny niche, but games may make them more mainstream. Most people have little idea what they are and stories of massive energy usage will put them off. Of course those on Hive do not have that issue. I own lots via the games plus some artworks I've bought. They are a bit like 'collectors editions' you see everywhere as it is artificial scarcity. An interesting business model and I'm happy to see some artists doing well from it as it can be tough for them to earn generally.
Hope things are good with you. I'll check out your post soon.
